Why It’s Better!
Springtree DMX Control Stations are a must-have for facilities using DMX house lighting and for volunteer-heavy spaces like churches, theaters, and schools.
The SMD-8 Desk builds on the original SM-8 Switch with upgraded components, a more refined feel, and new pro-level features designed to make everyday DMX control even easier.
With two built-in Cat5 outputs, the SMD-8 Desk can connect satellite stations in multiple directions without requiring an SS-Hub. A built-in control switch lets you quickly move active DMX control between the SMD-8 Desk and your lighting console/computer.
It features 3-pin and 5-pin DMX inputs and outputs, making it easy to connect to your lights and lighting controller without the need for a turnaround adapter.
SATELLITE STATIONS
Master Wall Stations store and output DMX data, making them the central control point for your lighting scenes. Satellite Stations provide additional access points around your facility, allowing users to trigger saved scenes from different locations. Rather than sending DMX data directly to the lights, Satellite Stations communicate with the Master Station, which handles the actual DMX output.
For added convenience, Springtree Satellite Stations are connected and powered through simple Cat5 Ethernet cable, making installation clean and easy. SMD-8 Desks are compatible with any Springtree Satellite Station, not just the Deluxe models.Â
The SMD-8 Desk now includes two Satellite outputs, making it easy to run Cat5 cable to Satellite Stations in two separate directions without the need for an SS-Hub. Each Satellite Station also includes a rear output, allowing additional Satellite Stations to be connected in series. Up to 5 Satellite Stations can be used per SMD-8 Desk.
